In the late 1980s two Melbourne teenage computer hackers known as
Electron and Phoenix stole a restricted computer security list called
'Zardoz' and used it to break into some of the world's most classified
and supposedly secure computer systems. So fast and widespread was the
attack no-one could work out how it had happened, until one of the
hackers called the New York Times to brag about it. Ten years after
their arrest, this dramatized documentary reveals not only how they did
it but why, taking us headlong into the clandestine, risky but
intoxicating world of the computer underground.
